Inclusive Design in the Digital Context

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Prod on OR grounds contested. Any useful bits that aren't in Accessibility could probably be merged there. Daniel Case (talk) 04:23, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

The term Accessibility generally refers to a binary notion or a one-size-fits-all approach to providing access for currently marginalized groups. Digital Inclusive Design in its current implementation focuses on an individualized notion of inclusion or one-size-fits-one, enabled by digital systems(e.g., see http://gpii.org). Accessibility also focuses on gaining access and less on individualized usability once access has been achieved. Inclusive design also incorporates language, culture and other forms of human difference. Merger with Accessibility would be misleading and would blur important distinctions. Jutta Treviranus (talk) 12 October 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtreviranus (talk • contribs) 16:40, 12 October 2011 (UTC) Further to this, Inclusive Design refers to a generic design practice based on the assumption that designing for the margins and including the outliers promotes innovation, and leads to designs that benefit everyone, whereas Accessibility is quality to strive for in design.

 * Delete. An essay that seems to be mostly original synthesis.  The headache inducing prose is non-informative and unimprovable with only reasonable effort: A community of editors and contributors will be refining and improving the text over the next two weeks.

 * Inclusive Design is design that is inclusive of the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference.This is the ISO definition of Inclusive Design and the appropriate citation will be added. ````
 * e-Inclusion is a term used in a European context to describe the goal of including all people in the information society. As such it is closely related to DID. DID embraces the goal of e-Inclusion while focusing on the practicality of the digital design-work that will allow the goal to be realized. In its focus, DID is informed by the concepts of multiculturalism and diversity. Diversity considers the large variation in the capacities of humans, in part due to their varying degrees of physical, cognitive, economic, cultural, and other relative states. Multiculturalism appreciates this diversity, and advocates equal respect for all cultures.
 * Text like this is gestural rather than informative. The important thing is to be seen saying the right things. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
